Clarke moves up the rankings
11:17am Monday 19th May 2008
Effingham's Jack Clarke moved up from seventh to third in the 2008 Formula Palmer Audi Championship after three races at the legendary Spa-Francorchamps track in Belgium last weekend.
The 20-year-old, who netted two thirds and a fourth in the nine-lap races, now has 112-points - 42 points behind championship leader Jason Moore (Bedford) - after eight rounds.
Dan Rozwadowski, from Shamley Green, recorded a 10th and a ninth after non-finishing in the opening race in his Oak International Finance sponsored machine and remains 15th.
Former Grand Prix driver, Martin Brundle, made a one-off appearance at Spa, the 48-year-old who contested 165 GPs between 1984-96, joining his 17-year-old son, Alex, in the championship. Brundle Snr finished eighth, seventh and sixth in the three races.
Rounds 9 & 10 in the 20-race, eight venue series are staged at Oulton Park in Cheshire on 27-28 June.
